Inspired by the storms of the Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo, today we wrote storm poems. Like most poetry, the writing was meant to be performed so, using Audioboo, we have recorded some of the poems.
Can you hear the alliteration? How are similes and metaphors used? What is the mood of the pieces, serious or humorous?
We are Year 6 at Tanfield Lea Community Primary School, a primary school in County Durham who want to broaden our horizons and to show the world what we have to offer. We are using this blog to explore web design, write creatively and as a wider audience for the class' talents!
We are very keen for links with other schools, both in the UK and internationally. Please contact us via the comments boxes!
Our topic for the Autumn term is the Normans, looking at the architecture, sources and impact of the Norman Conquest of Britain.
